Book Reviews of American Idol: The Search for a Superstar--The Official Book
Book Review: Could have been better
Summary: 2 Stars
This guide is good, but could have been better. It's basically a brief photo guide through the first few weeks of the series, ending with the wild card episode and the selection of R.J. Helton as contestant. Oddly, the book chooses to end there, a pretty strange place to end. I would have liked it better if the book had gone up to and including the final episode, and maybe included photos from the concert tour and Las Vegas spectacular televised concert. And maybe the lyrics to Kelly Clarkson's songs? Whatever. It's still a nice photo guide, but it's mainly that - glossy photos. There's some brief contestant interviews with the final ten that don't reveal much, a look at the elimination shows and some pages devoted to the auditions. To tell the truth, this book looks as if it was rushed into production. If you're an Idol fan, it'll be a nice photo album, but nothing else.
